title = "Mixed-mode and mode-II fatigue crack growth in woven composites",
abstract = "A woven carbon/epoxy composite was subjected to fatigue crack growth under mixed Mode-I/Mode-II loading to obtain crack growth behavior at different cyclic strain energies. Owing to the woven structure of the material, pure Mode-II fracture is usually a difficult proposition because of friction, interference, and interlock of woven tows in adjacent plies at an interlaminar crack. These limitations were overcome by the use of a novel form of mixed Mode-I/Mode-II specimen, which imposes sufficient crack surface opening (Mode-I) to alleviate ply–ply interactions, but not so much as to obscure the sliding (Mode-II) response. Comparison with pure Mode-I fatigue crack growth data, in conjunction with a fracture interaction criterion, provided a means to extract the Mode-II behavior.",
